PROTEGA DESIGN PROCESS

Consultation and CAD design, a bespoke integration system to fit your operational requirements.

Protega Global focuses significant effort and investment in the development of new innovative ideas, to create an eco-friendly packing range enabling you to pack both smarter and faster. Our research and development capabilities allow us to bring ideas to reality.

Our paper void fill machine has been designed and built by Protega Global in the UK to rigorous quality standards, providing you a machine that is compact, efficient and cost effective.

About the design process.

We carry out an initial survey to gain an operational overview of your organisation. We look at workflow, materials handling and packing requirements and configure an efficient and safe work area.

CAD designs show what the finished project could look like, and, subject to input from all project stakeholders and agreement on the final design, a fixed cost will be given.

A VIRTUAL FIRST LOOK AT YOUR PACKING AREA

Bringing your packing area to life in the design process, helping you visualise the future of your operation.

Once we have combined our suggestions and your requirements, we begin creating a concept. We work with you all the way through to a finished product using our Slidewords CAD design package.

Enabling you to see your bespoke bench designs and packing area in the virtual world. At this stage we are able to place your equipment and supplies into the CAD visual, creating your typical packing scenario. This will allow us to check you have sufficient space for a more efficient day to day warehouse operation.

“We have always struggled with space in the warehouse, especially during peak. Protega helped us get a clear view of how to improve our efficiency,

the CAD drawings made this process very simple for us”

PROTEGA MANUFACTURE PROCESS

A bespoke design to fit your businesses needs and improve your warehouse efficiency.

Our team of technicians at Andover UK do not believe that ‘one size fits all’. In close consultation with our customers we produce and customise our Protega machines and packing stations to fit your business needs.

We have created a machine which we can adapt to your unique packing environment, by elevating above your packing line, integrating into your workstation or by customising the controls. Our Production capabilities vary from packaging benches, conveyor systems, storage systems, all of which can be combined with our sustainable packaging materials.

TRULY SUSTAINABLE

Paper is the most sustainable option when it comes to packaging; it does not rely on the extraction of oil, is widely recycled and is truly biodegradable. At Protega we use 100% paper recycled products wherever possible, which has a lower carbon footprint than virgin paper. Protega Global has a strong sustainable ethos and innovates to bring the best paper protection products to the market. Any businesses considering switching from plastic void fill packaging can do so with confidence with Protega.

With our compact and efficient systems, we can help make your switch cost neutral; whilst improving pack speeds and increasing protection.

“Protega helped us hit our carbon targets, buying from a UK manufacturer meant we were no longer shipping our packing equipment from overseas.It’s also a great benefit to have a reliable supply chain during these uncertain times.”

PROTEGA INSTALL PROCESS

A seamless installation process that guaruntees a simple set up.

Our in-house installation team will work with you to minimise disruption and ensure a smooth transition to your new packing and despatch area.

TRAINING & MAINTENANCE

Our journey doesn’t end there, we pride ourselves on our after-care and maintenance.

We are passionate about helping others, going the extra mile to ensure you obtain the maximum gain from your switch to Protega packaging.

Before and after installation we will support your team with training in best practice of the Protega paper machine and associated equipment and materials. We will ensure your team are equipped with the techniques to maximise speed of packing, minimise waste and reduce potential breakages and damage.

UK Design and manufacture holds great benefits for our customers, not least that we are able to provide locally based preventative maintenance for all of our Protega machines.

In addition, our field based engineers are on call to respond to any service requirements should the need arise, within 24-48 hours.

Your eco-friendly alternative to plastic bubble wrap.

Hexcel Wrap really needs to be seen to be believed! It is supplied as a flat sheet which then becomes three dimensional simply by stretching it. It can be effortlessly wrapped around products and the layers build up to offer protection as good as plastic bubble!

Hexcel is dispensed from a small manual tensioning device which can be deployed anywhere, without the requirement for electricity. Hexcel wrap is easy stretch and easy tear. Once stretched around the product you simply tear the paper, and the paper interlocks on itself. No need for adhesive tape! Not only does this reduces plastic use but also reduces pack times by up to 50%. Unlike any other paper bubble wrap with no adhesive tape required, making it easier for your customers to unwrap the products too!

HEXCEL BENCH

Increase efficiency with the integrated Hexcel bench.

The use of Hexcel Wrap – a paper alternative to bubble wrap – has been made even easier with the development of an integrated dispenser. Housed under the bench, the Hexcel paper is simply passed through a pair of rollers and dispensed onto the bench at the optimal position for the packers.

This design maximises the usable area of the bench, and dramatically increases efficiency. To reload, a section of the bench lifts up and allows rolls to be placed easily and ergonomically.
